A photograph of a deity murti in a temple shrine, shown standing and frontally. The black stone figure wears a tall gold and red conical crown, a red tilak on the forehead, and large silver ornaments with silver necklaces and a layered silver chest piece. It is garlanded with red, white and pink flower garlands and a row of gold coins. A gold-coloured staff or ceremonial object rests at its left side, and gold drapery hangs in the background above a red and gold silk cloth. The murti is a deity form, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
